Spell Tooltips

[NoobMapmaker]

Are there to put an absolute value for the referenced values in the tooltips?

i.e. I referenced a negative data value and i want to make it display as a positive integer value when a player view it in game.

Err, of course... it's the same as on most calculators
"Abs(value)" (it's under math)

Spell tooltips not the GUI triggers.. I think you misunderstood

 

[cakemixcore]

Not sure if this is possible, you may have to just type each individually instead of using data tags :/. As far as I know there is only color and newline.

 

[ap0calypse]

It's just as cakemixcore sais, sorry for the misunderstanding ^^
But why do you need it, you can type the tooltips yourself

The spells sorta have a lot of levels .. but i guess i dont have a choice.

Can you use auto fill levels? If there is a pattern to the values in the ability for each level then you can.

 

[NoobMapmaker]

Nope each lv bonus is increase by %.. i.e. lv 1 adds 20%; lv 2 adds 30% x 1.10; lv 3 adds 33% x 1.10 ... i dont think there is a pattern that would work for the auto fills.

Learn advanced calculus and I'm sure you'd find your pattern

Based on the data you gave me, here is your formula:
Percentage added = -3.5 * level^2 + 20.5 * level + 3

Go to View -> Raw Data.

Then write <SPELLRAWCODEHERE,Data1> for an example to description.

 

[wolfman]

You can increase by percent. If you right click -> auto fill -> Previous Level Factor - set it to 1.10 then it will increase by 10% of the previous value each time. .30 .33 .36 .40 .44 and so on

I have no problem with the math or the auto fill for the data.. The trouble is how do i make it so that in the data field it says -15% but in the tooltip it will say 15%. I'm just having problems with the spell descriptions not the actual data. Just thought i ask around before manually putting values for each lv of the spell description.

 

[Teelo]

You could always reword your tooltip to say "increases whatever by -1.5".

I may not quite understand your question, but I am actually having a problem with my tooltips too.

For example, in storm bolt the tooltip says:

Throws a magical hammer at a target enemy unit, dealing <AHtb,DataA1> damage and stunning the target for <AHtb,Dur1> seconds.
The first value in the <> is referring to the damage which is 100.

If i were to change the 100 to 110, i wouldnt hav to redo the tooltip.

I want this to work with custom spells. If i made a custom storm bolt, would i put the custom ability name at the beginning?
Like <A000:AHtb,DataA1>?
I've tried it many different ways and i cant seem to get it to work. the tooltip always reads the value as 0

 

[NoobMapmaker]

Archangel_Tidusx: Thats how you would edit the custom spell tooltip, it should work. As for my problem I'll just manually type it.

 

[Super-Sheep]

ARCANGHEL_SEPPO it works for me. I dont get 0. I get the corret values. You fail. Noob. Noob.

But hes value is -20 and he wants it to be displayed as 20. Mathematic functions dont work in tooltip codes, so he has to manually type it.

XD
Just make a dummy abilty with the right values and use it in your spell.
So if your spell reduce -15% and you wannt that 15% is shown create a second abilty which have 15% at the lvl and use the value in your tooltip. This works fine for evry tooltip were you cant find the right value in your tooltip. Or also could be used for summons if you want a easier way for the stats of th unit

 

[Reaper2008]

Not <A000:AHtb,DataA1> but <A000:Ahtb> i think.

 

[SlayerII]

No its <A000,DataA1>
Then you get the right value of the custom spell

 

[NoobMapmaker]

Its <New Spell Id:Original spell id, Data field> so its basically <A000:AHtb,DataA1>

 

[ap0calypse]

Seriously... if I see all the posts here, I guess it's just easier to type it yourself.
Yeah, so your spells have a lot of levels, you can still CnP the text, you just need to change some amounts.

I've had a map where every ability had 20 levels and I did it manually, I don't know how it is for you, but it isn't that bad, really.

 

[NoobMapmaker]

Is 100 lv and over 10 abilities consider bad for manual input? Like all maps, it might need balancing later, so thats why im just making a post to see people's ideas.

 

[SlayerII]

well a dummy abilty for the right value is the best idea in this case

@noobmapmaker I use the way i wrote and it works fine

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Not <A000:AHtb,DataA1> but <A000:Ahtb> i think.

That wouldnt give any value because its just refrencing to the spell

No its <A000,DataA1>
Then you get the right value of the custom spell

And thanks, I thought i tried it but i'll check again.
